Applications & Uses

Application Guidelines

• Preparationn- Rakoll® D3 must be stirred well before use
• Undercooled adhesive -nPlease contact the Application Enginnering.

Cleaning Information

Clean machines and utensils with water before the adhesive dries.

Preparation Information

• Over tolerances in the wood will lead to longer setting times and weaker bonds.
• The wood should be joined shortly before bonding.

Processing Information

• Suitable Substrates - Wood and Wood based materials
• Application Method - Roll Roller, Spreading machine, Brush, With notched trowel
• Applying the adhesive Apply Rakoll® D3 thinly and evenly to one side or, if a high degree of water resistance is required, to both sides.
• Pressing Lay the parts together within the open time and maintain the pressing pressure until the required initial strength is achieved. The pressure should be high enough to achieve joint closure in the entire joint area (depending on the substrates used). Woods containing resin require longer pressing times.
• Laminating of wooden window profiles In accordance with the Quality Guidelines of i.f.t. Rosenheim, Laminated Profiles for Wooden Windows, the wood moisture content must be ( 13 ± 2 ) %. The room temperature and the wood temperature must be at least 15 °C.

Product Application

• Veneering
• Surface gluing of decor-finish film and HPL/CPL in short cycle presses and cold laminating machines
• Bonding joints in boards and block gluing of softwoods and chipboard as well as hardwoods

Properties

Compatibility Information

• Due to the different composition of wood constituents, unpredictable discoloration may occur in individual cases with different types of wood. In addition, iron in combination with the tannic acid of the wood can cause color changes, especially in oak.
• We recommend carrying out your own tests.
• To avoid the risk of corrosion, we recommend using storage tanks, pipes and spreading equipment made of stainless steel or plastic (rigid PVC, polyethylene, polyester resin).

Storage & Handling
